Interface for Real-Time Audio Recognition

1. A computer-implemented method for providing audio recognition results via a user interface of a client device, the method comprising: recording, at the client device, an audio sample; transmitting, by the client device to a server, at least a portion of the recorded audio sample including a first window of the audio sample and, subsequent to the first window, a second window of the audio sample, wherein the transmitted portion of the audio sample is less than an entirety of the recorded audio sample; receiving, at the client device from the server and while transmitting the audio sample to the server, a first recognition result in response to the server analyzing the first window of the transmitted audio sample, and a second recognition result in response to the server analyzing the first window and the second window of the transmitted audio sample; and providing for display, in a user interface of the client device, the first and the second recognition results prior to the client device transmitting the entirety of the audio sample to the server, wherein the audio sample contains audio associated with multiple content types.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the first recognition result includes recognizing the recorded audio from a first content type and the second recognition result includes recognizing the recorded audio from a second content type, the first content type being different from the second content type.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein the first content type is a music type and the second content type is a video type.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein the first recognition result includes information specific to the first content type and the second recognition result includes information specific to the second content type.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein the first recognition result includes a first visual element representative of the first content type, and the second recognition result includes a second visual element representative of the second content type.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein first and second recognition results are ordered based on a user defined priority.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , wherein the user defined priority indicates that the first and second recognition results are to be ordered based on content type.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the first recognition result includes purchase information for an item.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the first recognition result includes at least one of the following types of information: identification information for a content item associated with the audio sample, non-identification information relating to the content item, or social information relating to the content item.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising: providing for display, in the user interface, a check-in control for checking-in to the first recognition result.

11. A computer system configured to provide audio recognition results, the computer system comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium encoding instructions thereon that, in response to execution by the computer system, configure the computer system to: record, at the computer system, an audio sample; transmit, by the computer system to a server, at least a portion of the recorded audio sample including a first window of the audio sample and, subsequent to the first window, a second window of the audio sample, wherein the transmitted portion of the audio sample is less than an entirety of the recorded audio sample; receive, at the computer system from the server and while transmitting the audio sample to the server, a first recognition result in response to the server analyzing the first window of the transmitted audio sample, and a second recognition result in response to the server analyzing the first window and the second window of the transmitted audio sample; and provide for display, in a user interface of the computer system, the first and the second, recognition results prior to the computer system transmitting the entirety of the audio sample to the server, wherein the audio sample contains audio associated with multiple content types.

12. A computer-implemented method for providing audio recognition results via a user interface of a client device, the method comprising: recording, at a client device, an audio sample; sending, at the client device to a server, a window of the audio sample, the window comprising less than the entirety of the recorded audio sample; receiving, at the client device from the server and while sending the window of audio sample to the server, a set of recognition results corresponding to the window of the audio sample, the set of recognition results including a first subset of recognition results provided at a first time and having a first content type and a second subset of recognition results provided at a second time, subsequent to the first time, and having a second content type the second subset of recognition results based on the first subset of recognition results; and providing for display, in a user interface of the client device, of the set of recognition results.

13. The computer-implemented method of claim 12 , wherein the set of recognition results are received prior to the client device sending the entirety of the audio sample to the server.

14. The computer-implemented method of claim 12 , wherein providing for display of the set of recognition results includes grouping the set of recognition results by content type.

15. The computer-implemented method of claim 12 , further comprising: providing for display, in the user interface, a query stop control; and responsive to a user selection of the query stop control, terminating the sending of the window of the audio sample to the server.

16. The computer-implemented method of claim 12 , wherein the first content type is a music type and the second content type is a video type.
